Seven Tan acting summary: I love you so much that I will die for you but I will not hug / kiss you.

Watched till episode 15, and dropped it when I realised:

* I can predict the story progression with 99.93% accuracy including the episode number where they will actually kiss for the first time / sleep with each other / get pregnant

* My major gripe is with Seven Tan's acting here. She is cast so often in rom-com dramas. I have also seen "Under the Power". She is a good actress. So I fully believe her character when she is willing to die for the ML. However, she falls so flat in skinship scenes whether it be kisses or just simple hugs. And honestly that should be a deal breaker for casting an actress in romance dramas. Stop giving Seven Tan romance series because she cannot deliver.

P.S: I was looking forward to a good Wallace Chung drama. Now he is what a ML in a romance drama should be, he always delivers. His face can feature on the Mills & Boon novels I read. I will wait, for another drama of his which captures my heart like "My Sunshine" did. And oh yeah, Wallace Chung does not seem to age.
